Time on the Blog Tour? I lost track on which date and time to post. I have spent 6-8 hours every day this week including today…..and still have to go back and check “if I won!” but I have enjoyed every minute of it. Had to stop last night when unexpected “thunder storm with real lightning” caught my attention and shut down. (Glad I did as the microwave clock had to be re-set this morning…but the stove clock
was okay) Thank you for such a great blog tour!!!

Well after having nice weather last weekend for a bus shop hop then receiving about 4″ of snow between Thursday and Friday. Somebody forgot to tell Mother Nature what season it is. Tomorrow is my birthday so I hope I win something so I will be checking out the blogs.

I try to limit my time to between 1 and 1.5 hours per day, but find I get interested in someone’s blog and wind up connecting hither, thither and yon. So after only three days, I am spending way more time than I intended. Just can’t help myself!! Everything is so tempting.

I’m sad to say I haven’t had a chance to spend any time on the blog tour as I’ve been too busy unpacking from our recent move. I hope to catch up on it next week. Took a quick break t look at Facebook nice it wouldn’t come up this morning and I’m feeling guilty typing this instead if unpacking more boxes.

This was so much fun to do the tour and it took me around 36 hrs. so far. I just keep looking at different blogs and read all them, time well spent in my option. Would like to thank every one for their hard work on this.

Let’s see – I spent my whole lunch hour on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
and about 1/2 hour each of those evenings hitting the ones I couldn’t get to at lunch time. Thursday was a travel day for me, so I didn’t do any of them on Thursday. Today, I did all the Friday ones,(1 1/2 hours) and am going back now and hoping to hit the Thursday ones. So far, about 6 hours, and about another hour and a half to go!

I have enjoyed this activity so much. I am a relatively new quilter and have found the quilters nationwide to be a wonderful group of people. Thanks for this opportunity and a big THANKS to my friend Judy for letting me know about it. Her quilt is in this next issue. Way to go, Judy!

I heard about this tour just before I left for a vacation. It hadn’t yet started. I haven’t had e-mail access until late last night and today the tour ends. I intend, beginning today to explore each designer’s link or as many as I can get to this coming week. I’m excited for this opportunity to meet new designers.

I can’t even begin to estimate the time spent following this blog hop – what a delight! Love visiting new blogs to see what others are doing. If I had to guess — at least 2-3 hours per day!! yikes I need to get in the sewing room!

I love reading (and getting inspired) by others. I could easily get lost in the reading but try to limit myself to 1-2 hrs a day. but there is always just one more great blog, fantastic idea, cool thing lurking out there.

It’s been a busy week, but every time I get on the computer, I get distracted from my original purpose and end up on the blog tour. Have probably spent 2 hours+ so far, but wish I could spend a lot longer.

I’ve spent way too much time! My computer hard drive seems to be “giving up the ghost”, so I’m not able to leave comments on all the blogs–no way to enter my info. The ones that work like yours do are good for my “disabled” computer though! Thanks for the blog tour.

Oh, wow! I’ve spent at least 4 hours just hitting the blog spots to get entered as many times as possible. Then there are the hours I’ve spent going back and doing more looking at the blogs. It’s addicting!

I have been spending over an hour blog hopping every day at except tonight as I am falling asleep at the keyboard exhausted from running around ‘Town’ for hours today so will have to finish this list tomorrow (when I’m not quilting).

I have easily spent a good 3-4 hours a day enjoying the blog post. It is great to see all the previews and then I start looking at past post and next thing I know half the day is gone. I really like the penguin block that you highlight in today’s post.

A bazillion hours! I check out the blog post about their block, I check out their blog, I check out any tutorials or free patterns posted, I check out the blogs they follow…a bazillion hours later I check out the next designer…too much fun!
